I got the 6.3 MEGA in China (i9200 or JDQ39.I9200ZNUAMI2 to be exact) and while it's mostly in English, it still has all sorts of Chinese apps and texts on it and no Google Play store, Google Maps, etc. What's the best way to clean this up and add Google apps to it?
Is there a basic stock English language ROM with google apps that I could use and how (I've rooted and updated my devices before but never changed the base ROM)?
Thanks.
well, i was able to root with kingo android root program, and then installed google play store and services using this solution.
the phone still has a ton of samsung and chinese bloatware that i may just remove manually, but i think maybe i should just flash it with a new, clean rom - only hesitating because i've never done it before and afraid i might brick my new phone.
i was thinking of trying the unofficial CyanogenMod11 : [4.4.2] for GT-I9200/I9205 - it should work, right?

I'm contemplating getting an Oppo Finder X907, here in Shanghai. Unfortunately, being an officially developed phone, by a sanctioned chinese company, it doesn't have google play or any of the google apps.
So I am wondering if someone has a way to get google play installed on the phone without doing any firmware hacks or jailbreaking.
Any suggestions?

Flash it with the Thai version ROM (www.oppothai.com)
You can install google play off an apk file.
I have the file if you need it.
You don't need to root the phone.
Couldn't find anything related to my problem, if there is please provide link to it. So now to my problem, i had a Machspeed X-treme 7" tablet , after some hardware failure i contacted their support and they sent me the newest model (at the time) Machspeed Trio Stealth Pro 7c, With google play preinstalled, after going through the phonesky process to make Gplay work i had no issues and flawless gameplay and app downloads from there on out until now, with the latest update of the Google Play Services 4.1.31/32 now some of my apps are saying "Google Play Services which is required by some apps is not compatible with your device", mind you this message never came up prior to this update. I have tried the clear data and cache trick with no avail even did a factory reset to bare bones, still no luck.
Has anyone else had this issue and have you figured out a fix for it?
MachSpeed Trio7c
Droid 4.0.4
Gplay 4.5
Gplay Service 4.1.32
Google Services Framework 4.0.4

Not possible as machspeed will not release the original firmware for these or any of their devices, also the firmware isn't the issue it's googles recent update to play services!
Possible!

Not sure if i want to try this without doing some more research and insuring this is a fail proof method, these A13 tablets do not flash easily. Thank you for the link and a great starting place, would much rather prefer JB anyways lol.
Still like the issue left open and see if anyone can find a fix to the google play services issue!
Trio7c Trio Stealth Pro 7 Google Play Issues Best Fix
So after finally giving up , I followed the directions on the link posted above, FLAWLESS best decision i ever made, this rom is perfect and works flawlessly on the Machspeed Trio7c/Stealth Pro 7. My advice to everyone owning one of these tablets is to flash this rom and forget any previous issues you previously had, not to mention the bonus of upgrading to JELLYBEAN!!!
ALright although my tablet from before is still working flawlessly i have gotten a new 9 inch tablet this year:
TWD_MID aka M900 aka CHINESE SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB3 (obviously a generic)
So my question is , since i am not getting answers anywhere else, will this rom work on the above mentioned tablet? has anyone had any success or attempted to try it? Or does anyone have one of these tablets they would be willing to try this rom on for future reference?
My new tablet works but locks up quite frequently now, i do not want to re flash it without finding a working rom for it first, i can deal with the rebooting until then.
Neewbie here,
Have a quick question. UK user, purchased a Chinese Samsung Galaxy Win (dual sim) GT-I8552. Unfortunately, I dont think its going to come with the Google Play app.
Im not interested in installing custom roms, custom recovery modules etc, all I desire is to be able to access the Play store to restore my purchased apps on old Android phone!
Is there any way I will be able to install a Stock from FROM A DIFFERENT REGION to the Phone, or am I stuck with no google play or having to install a custom rom (which I believe from searches, a stable version doesnt exist at present for the I8552!). I am planning on using the standard Samsung Tools to install the Stock ROM from a different region.
The phones specs and hardware are identical, apart from the Internal memory, which is 4Gb as opposed to 8Gb on the non Chinese model....
Thanks in advance, as a newb I couldnt post this to the Dev side, if any Android XDA developers could repost in dev if I dont get an answer on the general forum....
Thanks in advance!
Download it as APK

Without installing any ROM or doing anything dangerous, you can get the APK of the Play Store.
Here is a link for the latest one as for today (4.6.16) : goo. gl/IF8SoA
Download it and open it from your phone and install it and it should work.
If it didn't work, you have other alternatives such as Aptoide.
If you don't have the Google Play store, then most probably you don't have the Google Play Services package. For this, you may need to root your device and install it as a zip, or google Gapps for your device and download each APK by itself.
Hi,
I was dumped into the world of modding when I tried to install Pokémon Go on my elderly Samsung SIII - (I9300). Couldn't find it in the Play Store.
So I did some research and found it needs Android 4.4 or higher and I only have 4.3.
So into the previously unknown world of Rooting, ROMs and Modding.
With the excellent instructions here I now have successfully installed CyangenMod CM11 (4.4.4) - really pleased with myself.
BUT .... when I go into Play Store, still no sign of Pokémon Go.
Yes it has been released in my country (UK).
I do have ROMS and GAPPS for CM12 and CM13 if need be.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Nigel

Well that was an utter waste of time and effort. If anyone else is trying to run Pokémon Go on an S3 then don't bother. The version of Android is the least of your problems - the phone simply does not have enough RAM to run the game - the phone has 1GB total, the game needs 2GB.
Cheers,
Nigel
You need to download APK from internet, and it will run fine on 1gb I was playing it, it will kill everything in the background but the game will run fine.
Thanks - all working now.
Feel quite pleased with myself. On Saturday I had never used an Android handheld before. Now I have rooted one, loaded a modded ROM and sideloaded an app..
Cheers,
Nigel

You will have to root and install googleplay from somewhere. China doesn't use google play. You will get instructions on how to root from here if you search the honor 10 forum but when it comes to install googleplay you will have yo do aome extra research amd find the files you can install from twrp. Unfortunately im away from my pc to give you some links for few days. It is possible anyway and google play should not stop you from buying the phone. What is the actual problem is that you will need bootloader unlocking code so you can root. If you can not get the code dont buy the device

Thanks for the fast reply!
i'll ask the seller about the code.
Ah sorry but this guys is talking ****.
I own the Honor 10 AL10 China Version with 6GB Ram and 128 GB Rom. On my phone also Play Store wasnt installed but all you need to do is download APK (from apk mirror as example) and install it. After this you have access to almost all Google Play features. Dont know how about Google Pay...

You see this guy has a bit of manners and he will reply you that if the phone he gets doeant contain Google api, he will be screwed because apk will not be enough. You can not be sure what kind of firmware he has in. That you had the luck to get a device with firmware that contains google api and so you managed to just install apk doesnt make me wrong. So take back your statement please.
Back to the point OP i wouldnt risk it for many reasons. Yes more ram, yes more memory but locked bootloader means you can not touch anything.
I also have a Chinese honor 10, can not use goolge playtore, any solutions except root?

U don't need to root or flash another system. China edition supports Google Service.
First, open AppGallery.
Second, search Google Play
Third, tap UPDATE
